Being Ecuadorian is, I don't want to say it's tough but it's... something special to me.
I studied cooking in Spain after college.
There a great ethnic cuisine available to you in Chicago.
Well, you know, for me, I think Spanish food is festive.
I'm a huge fan of burgers, and they're not my wife's favorite, so we don't cook them at home.
If you were a Colombian, you would have your version of an empanada. If you are an Argentinean, you might find a dough that's baked and has a butter sheen on it. And then in Ecuador, you'll find more crispy-fried empanadas. So, yeah, every culture has their own version of empanadas.
